Great thread, guys. It has me looking at how to be a responsible knife enthusiast.

Thanks for creating such a civil and respectful conversation.

May the good Lord grant him a full and speedy recovery.

Congrats, Grappler!

And Paul, thanks for the excitement of a very generous game.

The Khalsa. It looked so radical, yet functional; I had to have it. It let me know that this was an out of the ordinary knife company.

God bless those who serve our great nation. They answer the call to duty and go in harm's way, whether our leaders are wise ... or otherwise. We should recognize their service in a way that really shows we appreciate them. We should offer today's veterans as good a deal as we gave the WWII vets! If ...

The black micarta on the large Persian and J D Smith is my favorite scale material. I agree it adds significantly to the beauty of these knives. It also makes it much easier for me to carry and use them since the micarta does no damage to my pockets.

I do hope that the great Spyder company is flourishing in this challanging economy. My own business has been off quite a bit; so new knives for the EarthDog have not been a priority.

Paul,

Thanks very much for the continuing quality of your contribution to the Spyderco Forums, and thanks for the generous game. Those are some remarkable knives in your post.

I'll guess 2,561.

Orange Dodo to go with my Blue Dodo?

Well, YES!

The Orange and Blue Dodos could cheer for the Gators, and go CHOMP!

"No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session." Many lame ideas are introduced as bills in the Florida legislature every year.

For the past few months, three:

RFP: BM Grip PE
LIWB: D4 PE
Neck: HAK Curvey

Sometimes, Street Beat because it is just so sweet!

On those rare occasions when I fly rather than drive, I pack and check my spyderco. :eek: Don't like it, but ... Now, I make sure it is one I can easily replace, and I take some care in packing. Since there is a possibility of some TSA type going through my checked baggage, I pack all my clothes and...

I'm with Paul on this one, provided we are discussing the Big Persian. It is an absolutely gorgeous knife. Its curves just flow.

Oh, man.

That is truly world class. Great post, Kev. {If there were a smiley for "envy," I would put it here.}

The woman was running the business and not necessarily the owner. The "original guy" was a guy. Ken Brock- "Actually, William was the owner from the beginning but that was not brought forth until recently. Frontsight was the one who ran things day to day. What happened recently was that Frontsight ...

... but I also read that it was the original guy who has taken a more active role in the day to day operation instead of letting someone else manage it. ... I have not dealt with HAK recently, only with the "original guy;" so I don't know about current business practices. I thought I would mention ...

A sprint run of the full size Persian, as close as possible to the original, would be my dream knife.

Mule #1 and a Street Beat. Both very fine.
